NEAR MISS IN VISION JET! FLIGHT VLOG 

I think it would be cool if you did a video that showed everything from a walk around, to a cold and dark startup, to taxi and takeoff.

Wow, your videos are truly impressive! The video quality is top-notch, the camera placement and editing are superb. It's evident that you put a lot of time and effort into capturing, producing, and editing these videos, and it really pays off. Your production values are on par with the best around! I can tell that you have a great understanding of proper flying procedures, and your piloting skills are exceptional. Your snappy communications add a level of professionalism that is truly commendable. Not only are you skilled in the cockpit, but you also have a fantastic personality that shines through in your videos. It's clear that you are relatable and genuine, making your content even more enjoyable. I've noticed that your Vlog #2 has received the highest number of views, and it's not hard to see why. Your combination of good flying, detailed explanations, and storytelling really captivates the viewer. Sharing your experience of transitioning in detail was very nice. In my opinion, the channels that resonate with viewers the most are the ones that feature planes they are interested in, allow them to dream of being in the pilot's seat, and create a connection with the pilot. Luckily, you tick all these boxes! Your relatability and outstanding personality truly enhance the quality of your videos and your flying skills. It would be wonderful to see glimpses of your life outside of the plane when it fits into the story, as it adds an extra dimension to your videos. If I may offer a suggestion, I think it would be fantastic to see more detailed explanations in your videos. It's not just about reading the checklist and having snappy communications; viewers want to see the intricacies of piloting. Close-up shots of the PFD and MFD, along with actual manipulation of the FMS, would be incredibly informative and engaging. Additionally, sharing some insight into your decision-making process would be valuable. It would be like receiving a little bit of instruction along the way without feeling talked down to. Keep up the incredible work! Your videos are already fantastic, but with the addition of more detailed explanations and glimpses into your decision-making process, they will undoubtedly become even more captivating. I can't wait to see what you have in store for us next!

I never paid attention to how many subs you had and would've guessed you were already an established channel. Your video quality is incredible. That being said, your question about vlogging is basically if you want to put the work in recording and editing your life. If so then you open your channel to fans of vlog style videos who will learn you're a pilot and stay for that or stay for your vlogs or both

I’m glad you asked what people want to watch. I think it would be really cool to show what you do before and after you land the plane. Going into the airport, hotel, other things you do during the day would be entertaining to watch. I think like 80% flying 20% non flight would be cool.

Love the channel! Fun to see the Vision Jet in action. Nicely done!

Flight planning. That is what I love to see! Deciding on the route, weight, fuel planning… haven’t seen that for a Vision Jet yet.

Great video, whoops we almost ran you into another aircraft my bad. Come on guys, hard job I know and why I support far more controllers on duty. One person should never be so task saturated that a mistake is made. Great work on your channel, I’m here mostly for aviation content but if your around the town is done as well as these are I would watch about anything you put out. Thanks for my flying fix! Most important I’m thankful you and the other pilot stayed safe.

Thanks for the video, was exciting to watch! SoCal sure sounds busy

Excellent channel, Stephen. Since you asked, love to see more shots of the panel and how you work it. Great job.

Answering question about what we'd like to see: For me, approach/arrival/landing is the most interesting (and chaotic as you are never sure what ATC is going to throw at you), second interesting is takeoff/departure. General backstory at cruise is cool to hear especially stories that maybe you didn't vid capture. New subscriber. Like what I see so far. Keep it up!

I subscribed for the flying. It’s your channel so do what makes you happy, and we will watch the videos that interest us.

Glad I found your channel. Cool to see the face and story of one of the Vision Jets flying out of KPVU. Keep the videos coming

Really cool video man. Subscribed to your channel. Your workload handling and radio comms are excellent. I guess all those long hours listening to Live ATC have paid off 😂

I thought I was the only one that would listen to ATC chatter when going to sleep, I find it so calming😂

feisty up there! Amazing footage and great work! id love to one day fly.

That would have been scary - you handled it well. Grt video.

Very cool! Thanks for sharing...

Great vid and I learnt a lot from this video.

Very impressed with your radio technique. Sounds extremely professional.

When i was training for my instrument rating back in 1992 , had to be careful the controllers did not fly you into the hills , I am enjoying the flying content and would like more how you plan your flights, this is a great video !

bro nice content, love this type of videos

Great video!

🔥LOVE THE CHANNEL🔥 LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT VIDEO

lol just went to sub and was surprised to see less than 1k, the quality of these videos is great. Personally I’d like to see mainly flying but a bit more of the pilot lifestyle would be cool too. I bet this channel with go far with your quality and humor

Yes like all the flying would be interesting to see other stuff before and after the flight

I like seeing the flight controls and screens.

really neat! thank you!

Clicked for the title and now I am subscribed, that controller may have helped your youtube channel :)

I like the technical aspect and atc coms.

I like listening to ATC too lol .. I enjoy watching for the procedures

I feel like people want to be entertained while learning something new in aviation. I fly 20 and 22 and wonder what’s it’s like in the jet! no clickbait and bs. I watch a finance guy with a blank background and he spews facts and things to consider with the education to back it up. He has 2 million followers. Funny how many people want to learn something without all the drama. Every video give us something unique to think about. if you build it, they will come😂😂

Very professional flying. New sub here.

Wow dude that was truly a near miss! 😅😅😅😅 great attitude and even better flying tho I’m so glad I found your channel I’m obsessed with the vision jet it’s so awesome and unique. Is yours a G2 or 2 plus? The emergency auto landing and parachute system (caps) is fascinating to me on cirrus aircraft!

Hi Stephen, I just found your channel and it's awesome! I like the fact that you come across as an honest straightforward guy. There are a few flashy pilot channels out there. I'd like to learn more about you and how you got to a position to buy such a great jet. I'm about to buy my first SR22, and my goal is to "climb" to the Vision Jet, so I'm very interested in what your journey has looked like.

First sorry for your loss with your brother and thank you for sharing. Your Vlog is perfect don’t change it. Only thing I would add is State your current location where you are going and how long the flight is cruising speed you will attain during flight. Just a thought. Your com’s during flight is spot on.

Coming from another pilot , the way your doing it now is pretty great, but I would always love to see what the day in the life outside the jet, but if you want to sit there and edit it as well, go for it!

I like the aviation side, not to worried about the rest.

Good video, just subcribed

Very impressed with the Vision Jet. It’s a great aircraft to use. I was wondering if you have the parachute system and/or the Auto Land System on your aircraft? Thank you for another great video.

These videos are tremendous.

I'd be pretty interested in what owning an SF50 is like, associated costs, engine programs etc. I'd watch that kinda content all day lol

your style is exactly what I'd like to be if I were as proficient at IFR as you! And had a vision jet rating, hah! Down the pipe, efficient but not a machine.. would love to be able to do flights like this. blessings sir

For me, one or two "life of" would suffice. It's the flying that's inaccessible to me, and thus interesting to watch. As to the title... I missed the "near miss." I assume it was that traffic 300' above that you (and I) didn't see. A little click-baity, but it's not why I clicked so I gave a thumbs-up. Maybe it's just me, but that opening music was so bad I almost left the video. I'm glad I stayed to see if you'd turn it off. The ICS/radio audio quality is excellent! That Vision jet is tiny but mighty. I'm impressed with how "big" it flies! Thanks for sharing.

I would like to see just the panel work up close center point . Enough zoom to just see the button pushing and verbalizing your process flow. Love the audio work and of course the Channel.

Not sure what I did to have several Vision Jet videos show up in my feed in the last week, but I’m glad it happened. You’ve done a great job with your first few flight vlogs. I am guessing you have paid attention to how some of the experienced aviation RU-vidrs do it. I’d like to see more content like on the Vision Jet. Don’t let it go to your head 😉, but I get a Premier1Driver vibe from you. (Nod to @gregmink) 👍 That said, how did you file for the socal flights? Do you file for specific arrivals, trying to avoid the ones that have those high speed demands? I remember watching @citationmax dealing with the need-for-speed on an LA arrival back in his SF50 days. The Vision Jet seems like it can be stuck with fewer options - terminal procedures with speeds it has hard time keeping up, or ones with “Turbojets not authorized.” I’m a pilot with about 250 rusted hours in my log book. I got pulled away from flying when I was working on my instrument rating 25+ years ago, and now I only stay “in-the know” on these things by flying vicariously through guys like you. Nice work - thanks for sharing.

I love the footage. You're a great pilot, are you corporate pilot?

just curious could you have input V388 with the gps from the paradise VOR instead of the 270 radial with nav 2 since they are technically the same thing? just trying to learn great video!

In addition to what other's have said, it'd also be interesting to know how you got into flying and progressed into the profession.

Nice

Keeping into flying , show us preflighting all of that more cameras 📸

Hi Stephen (Typing that, and saying it in my head, instantly made me think of 'Cable Guy'... "Hello Stephen..." Anyway, asking about what people find interesting is a good idea. The mention of listening to Chicago ATC was something I found to be cool. As a general rule, I think you'd be surprised at the content viewers would like most. What's regular stuff for you may be pretty interesting to others. I think posting more views of things would be a great idea...or at least offer it to people (Like the instrument cluster, or outside views, like continuous outside views of take-off, landing, or continuous instrumentation during same).

I want to hear more about the program that covers your training etc. I think it’s cool to mix in a little bit of the before/after in same video of the flight.

Very cool, you own this aircraft yourself? Or do you work for a charter company that flys them? What do you do for a living?!? 😅

Im here just because of the clickbait ;) crazy you got that radial though.

combo works

This maybe a dumb question, but why did you receive the stall warning when landing?

How did you get into all of the aviation training? I’m hoping to join the aviation business but am curious to find out the best way to enter.

Should you be hearing the stall horn in a jet on a landing? Never seen that before

I suggest Set up, take off, climb, a little cruise, approach, landing. Love your videos. Just beginning my training for the VJ at 450 hours. Love the jet

It would be nice if you told us what you are doing when you are pushing buttons and a brief o er view of what each screen does

wait was the stall warning supposed to come on? I mean I know you were landing but just asking ? ( im not a pilot)

Waiting on that click bait "near miss" ...... keep up that challenging flying...

One day US ATC will move from the dark ages. Not to blame the controllers, just the system that sucks. Incessant step climbs and descents, vectors and all that stuff is so ancient.

I thought bagging on Center was normally done in private...

Are you worried about getting sleepy during a flight because you listen to radio chatter to sleep? How do you stay awake/alert during long flights?

23:30 fun fact, Elon is a multi and instrument rated pilot

Pretty young to have a multi million dollar plane. Getting well off family vibes. Guessing your the family pilot.

film what you want, it will make it more enjoyable for you

Good grief. This slow talking southern boy will never find himself flying around SOCAL 😂. I have no idea how you spotted that runway so far out either. Nothing but buildings and asphalt out there.

#Chit show

Keep flying videos flying.

haha loved the awkward silence before the landing clearance, definitely had a sandwich in his mouth

I'm guessing Elon's G650 is with him at all times. I think he works a couple of days at each location plus deviations like conferences in Europe and his women and kids. He has at least 10 kids now. I think it's more like 12, maybe more.

they gave you 134.0

Diversity hire, will do that.

2:09 - ATC gave you 126.135 6:00 - ATC gave you 134.0 ATC fucked that up & act bitchy at you for their own mistake.
